Create Form Textboxes based on a User Defined Type

[SteveJR]

Hi,

Does anyone know if it is possible to create a form with text boxes from a UDT? For example:

Public Type a_UDT
a as string * 1
b as string *1
End Type

The above would create a form with 2 text boxes called a_UDT.a and a_UDT.b.

Furthermore, is it possible to loop through the elements of a UDT and populate the text boxes?

Thanks,

Steve

That's not quite what is being asked ...

I'd guess that the OP is trying to see whether there is any way of reading the definition of a UDT at run-time and then using that as the skeleton to create a form at run tikme (the bit you post addresses)

The answer to this is yes, it can be done, using the TypeLib Information Library, although the technique is slightly convoluted.

The question is ... is this really the best way to proceed. It seems to me that something like XML might be better
